The Latin phrase “Ad Personam” refers to something made expressly for a specific person. The concept, which is so succinctly explained in written language, finds in human terms a wider, more evolved and more malleable interpretation.

However, it is rare that this concept finds a physical space so perfect for it. This “Ad Personam” idea that becomes concrete in a tangible work demands an exceptional context. Like the Villa Mozart, the headquarters for the Maison Giampiero Bodino. This is where the artist and designer creates and welcomes clients. And it is inside this villa that one-of-a-kind jewels are dreamed up, the result of personal encounters and confidential conversations. Master’s creations can only be found in this 1930s home designed by Piero Portaluppi, and it is only here that a certain one-on-one relationship can be established with attention that is an expression of humanity and the ability to interpret.

Bodino’s signature traits – perfection in terms of details, three-dimensionality and cultural identity – are able to pick up on the essence and imaginary of the person that commissions the piece. The artist’s vision interprets the client’s heart, and that is the most important part of the jewel. The “Ad Personam” jewelry piece mirrors a desire that will be translated into reality through the use of the most precious materials in the world.
